Chapter 168: Auction of Herbs
Hearing the suppressed laughter coming from behind the counter, Xie Qingtang immediately came back to his senses, covered his mouth, pushed Gu Xiujin away, and said with some annoyance: "Gu Xiujin, the two of us are clear." ”
Gu Xiujin, who was standing there, glanced at her indifferently and didn't say anything, but when he turned his head, there was a disappointed expression in his eyes.
"You two people watching the excitement should come out too." Xie Qingtang walked to the counter a little angrily, then clenched his hands into fists, knocked on the counter and said.
Zhou Jinfan and Li Zhao stood up from behind the counter a little embarrassed, and then said in unison: "We didn't hear anything." ”
After the words fell, the two of them were even more embarrassed, Xie Qingtang was so angry that he felt like he had blocked a stone, and then came to the backyard, Xiaoyu fell directly on her shoulder, and then chirped at Gu Xiujin, who walked in later.
"Xiaoyu, don't make noise!" Xie Qingtang, who was already upset, was even more upset when he heard Xiaoyu chirping on his shoulder, so he turned his head and scolded it with a slight frown.
Xiaoyu, who was reprimanded, instantly lowered her head very divinely, and stopped screaming, and Xie Qingtang immediately saw Gu Xiujin who came over, thinking of what happened between the two of them just now, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"The herb Qiankun grass you are looking for, I already have news." However, Gu Xiujin said directly to the point, and immediately made Xie Qingtang, who looked a little embarrassed, raise his head and look at him in surprise.
Xie Qingtang seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment just now, and instantly came to Gu Xiujin's face, and asked confirmatively, "Did you really find it?" Where can I buy Qiankun grass, I will immediately prepare the money. ”
"There will be an auction in a few days, and among the items in the auction there is a medicinal herb called Qiankun Cao, you really have to prepare money, I heard that many people are staring at this medicinal herb." Gu Xiujin looked at the little woman who took the initiative to approach him, and his mood suddenly improved, as if the rainy weather met the sun, and even the corners of his mouth brought a slight smile.
But Xie Qingtang, who was immersed in the joy of getting the news of medicinal herbs, didn't notice this, and when he heard that it was the medicinal materials at the auction, he nodded and said, "Then you really have to prepare a little money, the things at the auction are expensive." ”
Just when she was thinking about what method to use to get the Qiankun grass in the auction, Gu Xiujin's coughing sound sounded beside her.
Xie Qingtang immediately turned his head and saw the pale Gu Xiujin holding his hands into fists at the corners of his mouth coughing, his face flushed abnormally red because of the cough, and he looked extremely weak.
"I'm sorry, Gu Xiujin, your body is so weak, and you have to bother you to bother so much for my grandfather and Ben." Xie Qingtang said with some emotion, not knowing what to say for a while.
Gu Xiujin raised his head and glanced at her, shook his head and said, "No need, have you forgotten that the relationship between the two of us is just to help each other, and there is only one plant of that flavor Qiankun grass, so you also have to make a good decision, whether you want to use this flavor Qiankun grass to treat your grandfather's illness or save Ben." ”
After the words fell, Xie Qingtang was stunned for a moment, but forgot about this matter, and sighed in his heart, and at this time, Ah Xiang stood at the door frame and listened to this matter squarely, with an unclear light in his expression.
"I'll think about it, but thank you for telling me the news." Xie Qingtang nodded and said to Gu Xiujin.
At this time, my grandfather seemed to hear the sound of the backyard, came out of the room, and when he saw Gu Xiujin, he immediately beckoned his hand happily and said: "Xiujin, you are here, it just so happens that you came early today, you can accompany me to play two plates, and eat here tonight, I heard that your body was also damaged to a certain extent yesterday, just let Tangtang make medicinal food for you to replenish your body." ”
"Okay, Grandpa Xie." Gu Xiujin did not refuse, he agreed directly, and then walked towards Grandpa Xie, and two chess fans, one big and one small, played chess directly under the big tree.
Usually Grandpa Xie is rarely so happy, seeing the two of them sitting under the tree playing chess, Xie Qingtang also smiled, looking at Gu Xiujin who patiently accompanied his grandfather to play chess, and couldn't help but be moved in his heart.
During the period of the decline of the Xie family, many people stayed away from the Xie family, and only Gu Xiujin didn't care about this, and still came to play chess with Grandpa Xie every day.
As soon as he thought of this, Xie Qingtang felt very angry, Grandpa Xie has worked hard in the business world for so many years, and he must have friends around him, but since he was imprisoned in a sanatorium by Shao Siming, there is no so-called friend to save Grandpa out, and this account will be settled sooner or later.
Thinking like this in his heart, Xie Qingtang's eyes showed a touch of determination, then he shook his head, came to his grandfather, and said, "Grandpa, you like to eat glutinous rice lotus root the most, how about Tangtang make glutinous rice lotus for you tonight?" ”
"That's really great, go, go, don't affect me to play chess with this kid Xiujin, I have to beat him today." Grandpa Xie said with great interest.
Xie Qingtang also nodded, and went to the kitchen to get busy with the goods, Zhao Xianglan looked at the scene in the courtyard, pursed her lips and smiled, and then looked at Xie Qingtang with a strange look, and suddenly said: "Not to mention the physical aspect, Mr. Gu is indeed a very good man, if he can really match the little lady, it is also a match made in heaven." ”
"Aunt Lan, what are you talking about, the relationship between me and Gu Xiujin is not that at all, I have already said it several times." Xie Qingtang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a red face, the first few times Aunt Lan told her these things, she always felt that it was nonsense, but I don't know why, when Aunt Lan said this today, she actually had a faint feeling of shyness.
Zhao Xianglan naturally noticed the difference in her attitude, then smiled and put the soaked glutinous rice in her hand into her hand and said: "Okay, good, there is no relationship between you and Mr. Gu as I thought, I'm afraid that Mr. Gu doesn't think so, in the end, don't be a cowherd, the weaver girl has no intention." ”
Listening to these ridiculous words, Xie Qingtang no longer responded, but her fluttering eyes and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth from time to time, revealing her state of mind at the moment.
